Unbelievably Craig

Dear Mr David,
I apologize if my letter sounds rude but I truly detest your songs. I know they have made lots of young girls cry but they just don't do it for me. No, sorry. I do think you are a very beautiful man though and if I were you, I would entertain the idea of switching to a modeling career.

But life, as you should probably know, Mr David, could play the craziest trick. It happened one night on December last year, when somebody with the most beautiful laugh, dedicated a song to me. The song, as you may have guessed by now, is one of yours, titled Unbelievable.

Unbelievable indeed.

Of all the sappy love songs roaming freely in the universe, the person with the kindest heart told me that your unbelievable song is the very song that embodies his deepest feeling for me. And the moment really humbled me.

Mr David, who am I to judge you? I'm just a lowly writer wannabe struggling to even post this letter on this blog. While you could get into a stranger's heart and feel the very nature of his emotion. I can now see you in a different light. Maybe there is something significant in your songs. At least one of them represents how I made such an impression on other, and that is very uplifting.

Please understand however, that the experience had not changed my opinion about your other songs. Except for that one particular song which has earned a special status on my greatest love songs of all times, along with Live's Turn My Head, Wannadie's You and Me Song, Depeche Mode's Somebody (do you see now why you're so not my type of entertainer?), I still think you should spend a bit more time writing the lyrics. Or maybe if writing about love gets a bit tedious, try songs about cosmic joke instead.

Sincerely,
Drunken Monkey

P.S: I would like to inform you that I have become very intimate with the person who dedicated Unbelievable to me, and our 1st anniversary is due on the next two days.

P.P.S: I know that there are no words adequate to describe my feelings for him, so instead of trying too hard and in the end cheapen the meaning of the relationship, I decided I would not even try. Hence, this letter.

P.P.P.S: In my opinion, it is highly appropriate to end this letter by attaching the lyrics of Unbelieveable


Unbelievable

Always said I would know where to find love,
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough,
But some times I just felt I could give up.
But you came and changed my whole world now,
I'm somewhere I've never been before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]
It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you've rescued me some how-.
I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me,
And I've never been here before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]

When I think of what I have, and this chance I nearly lost,
I cant help but break down, and cry.
Ohh yeah, break down and cry.

[Chorus]

Now I see, what love means
